Sex Pistols Snub Hall of Fame

2006-02-25 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 19 Comments
The Sex Pistols announced today that they'll boycott their admission to the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame next month.

In a suitably hand-scrawled and grammatically incorrect note posted on the band's website, [url=http://www.thefilthandthefury.co.uk/]TheFilthAndTheFury.com[/url], the group were equal parts defiant and... err, delusional, ranting: "Next to the Sex Pistols, rock and roll and that hall of fame is a piss stain."

Punk isn't dead, folks; it has a website.

Hahaha, they're lucky to even be remembered. Especially that drug sponge crappy bassist Sid Vicious who didn't even play on their only album. Which sucks.

Punk can be overdone. This is just stupid. If yer being recognized as one of the best bands of all time, you dont say fuck you to the people who call you that, especially the Hall Of Fame.

Oh wow, they're so cool. John Lydon is such a punk, he'll go on 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' (UK reality tv show) but won't accept an award. What an idiot.

they're just pissy because they realized that the whole counter-culture movement that they believed they spawned is just as inherently capitalist and mainstream as any other musical genre.

I appreciate their zeal to still be all "I'm a misunderstood individual against the society that's out to destroy us". It's refreshing after all these years, really. But I think it's just a publicity scam. Frankly, I like their music, but don't care

Bunch of idiots. If you don't want an award just don't take it. There are alot of better bands then The Sex Pistols whom I'm sure would happy to be in the Rock Hall of Fame.

The Clash>>>>The Sex Pistols.

In both music and attitude.

IMO.
